Abstract

Introduction to The Problem: The trajectory of child development constitutes a fundamental pillar in shaping the future quality of life for individuals. Purpose: This study comprehensively addresses the developmental dynamics of children from early childhood (2–6 years) through middle-to-late childhood (6–11 years), emphasizing five core dimensions: physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, linguistic, and sexual development. Design/methods/approach: Employing a qualitative approach based on a comprehensive literature review, this study explores various theories and expert perspectives to understand the specific developmental characteristics and needs of children at each stage of age. Findings: The review findings demonstrate that during early childhood, children experience a surge in motor and linguistic development, as well as the acquisition of basic symbolic and emotional capabilities. Conversely, during middle-to-late childhood, children begin to exhibit concrete thought patterns, more complex social competencies, and an increasingly mature sense of self-understanding. Research implications/limitations: Each developmental phase necessitates an educational approach that is appropriate, adaptive, and sensitive to the individual needs of the child. A holistic understanding of these developmental aspects is crucial for parents, teachers, and educational personnel in creating a learning environment that supports the child's optimal growth. Originality/value: This study not only provides a robust theoretical foundation but also serves as an indispensable reminder of the importance of empathy and focused attention in comprehensively supporting the child’s entire growth and developmental process.
